I was at the bus stop not super late, but post rush hour. There were a handful of people at the stop. When I saw my bus coming, I walked over and waited first in line. As I stated to board, the driver gave me the wait signal, as someone else was taking a minute to exit.
And then as I was waiting, someone goes around me trying to board. Like I just decided to stop! Then when he realized there was someone getting off the bus, he stayed in the head of the line. Seriously, what?
How can anyone write a thread when it’s so nice out? I could have written something last night? Well I didn’t so you’re stuck with this nonsense.
Please join us this evening as the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally gathers for conversations over a drink. All are welcomed!
We meet every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us in the back room of the pub. We start around 8pm.

Another weekend another shooting in America. This time Chabad of Poway. It is another damn shame. Another toxic mix of hate and guns.

CPB in Spokane acting scuzzy has caught up with them. I hope that Mr. Elshieky gets all of the money and that there are real reforms. Also, even if the fuckery were justified (it’s not) the bus ride from Spokane to Portland isn’t exactly the hot route for international smugglers.
Matt Shea is such a garbage person. At a certain point, there have to be the barest of consequences for all of the fuckery. I would hope that there is enough decency in the Republican Party to show him some serious consequences. But the truth is that the rot is the party. They have become the party that redefined the Second Amendment and elevated Donald Trump. Of course they don’t care about genocide manifestos or targeting professors and protesters.
Happy Earth Day! Tomorrow, the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally gets together for our weekly dose of political discussion over a beer. Please stop by.
We meet every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us in the back room of the pub. We start at about 8pm.

President Trump sure did a lot of things that look like crimes. I mean asking people to commit crimes on your behalf is pretty crimish. Don’t have people crime for you, everyone.
This is a week or so old, but I had not heard about it before. Some kid who seems disturbed is scary as hell. Also, he swims in a pervasive antisemitism. I don’t know how we deal with it, but letting him have guns seems like a bad idea.
